During conversion, that code can upload fetched assets and generated output to a configured R2 endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T18:58:19.450Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T19:00:09.627Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 401 ms - **AI review time:** 109272 ms - **Total time:** 110177 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation silently replaces a direct dependency's entry file with bundled code. During conversion, that code can upload fetched assets and generated output to a configured R2 endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers the replacement; a caller must then run conversion with R2 upload enabled. - **Impact:** The replacement expands the installed dependency's behavior and may transmit conversion data to the configured storage service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/patch-fetch-page-assets.mjs, vendor/fetch-page-assets/index.js, r2.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T19:00:09.627Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time dependency replacement with runtime R2 uploads. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete, opaque postinstall dependency-replacement chain and runtime upload capability, creating unresolved supply-chain risk. The inspected source does not establish the broader malicious behavior required for blocking. - **Files touched:** node\_modules/fetch-page-assets/index.ts, node\_modules/fetch-page-assets/index.ts.bak, node\_modules/fetch-page-assets/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://${accountId}.r2.cloudflarestorage.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook runs a script that changes an installed dependency., The installer copies a bundled replacement into fetch-page-assets inside node\_modules., The replacement supports uploading fetched assets to configured R2 storage., R2 credentials configure an SDK client; converted content can be sent with PutObject. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only targets this package's direct dependency, not broad user or agent configuration., No shell execution, remote payload download, credential harvesting, or persistence was found., Network uploads are tied to the package's HTML conversion and asset-handling features and require runtime use plus R2 configuration. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 8. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 9. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 10. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 11. High: Node Builtin Dependency Squat - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package declares a runtime dependency whose name matches a Node built-in module. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json Runtime dependency names matching Node built-ins: fs, path ``` ### 12. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 1 ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 14 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 21 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 14 ### Published dependency entries - @aws-sdk/client-s3 ^3.888.0 (Dependency) - @babel/core ^7.29.0 (Dependency) - @babel/preset-react ^7.28.5 (Dependency) - @svgr/core ^8.1.0 (Dependency) - cheerio ^1.2.0 (Dependency) - css-scoping ^1.0.5 (Dependency) - dotenv ^17.3.1 (Dependency) - fetch-page-assets ^1.2.7 (Dependency) - fs ^0.0.1-security (Dependency) - jszip ^3.10.1 (Dependency) - mime-types ^3.0.1 (Dependency) - node-fetch ^3.3.2 (Dependency) - node-html-to-jsx ^1.4.4 (Dependency) - path ^0.12.7 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** html-to-gutenberg - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 4.2.17 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-30T23:20:12.489Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-31T19:00:09.627Z - **Known versions:** 8 - **Latest version:** 4.2.18 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Transform any valid HTML string into fully editable WP Gutenberg blocks in seconds rather than hours. - **Author:** Diogo Angelim - **Maintainers:** digelim - **Keywords:** frontend, gutenberg, html, wordpress, wp, jsx, converter, template, block, UI - **Artifact files:** 85 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 3,269,774 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]() - [OSV advisory]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
